Book Banter EP 83: Meliza Farndell Interview



Hello My Happy People.


Today I get to chat with the incredible, Meliza Farndell. Since we recorded this interview, I have already joined Meliza for a live chat on her channel. It has been proven that when we start talking about books, it is hard for us to stop.


Meliza is a wife and mother currently living in Preston, UK. When she is not focused on her family, you can find her developing new courses, coaching others, and of course writing books. She strives to help others to walk in freedom; "in their true identity and purpose". Meliza was the is the daughter of a pastor, born and raised in beautiful South Africa. She felt loved and cared for by her family, life did not always follow a smooth and anticipated path. Meliza is quoted as stating, "Enter: an enemy that comes to kill, steal and destroy." In this episode, we talk about Meliza's trials and tribulations in life which left her feeling empty and developing self-destructive habits. Her circumstances caused her to questions her relationship with her religious beliefs. She felt abandoned by God who she had turned to for help and answers. A trip to the movies ended up turning her life around. Meliza found inspiration in the movie Tangled. Through this movie Meliza felt she had finally been heard, that God had seen her suffering, and He deeply cared about her struggles. This revelation gave her the strength to pick up her life, pull herself out of her despair and begin building a future as an author and coach to help others find the strength to follow their own dreams.
